Who's That Girl On The Cover of the Magazine?

This is the cover of the August-September 2011 issue of Fully Booked’s Zine. And yes, that’s me on the front. It’s my very first cover and I’m so proud of how it’s turned out.

Paul Mondok shot all the photos of me, and my friend and fellow writer Yvette U. Tan wrote the cover story. She’s done a bang-up job of capturing who I am in the lengthy 3-page interview where I talk about how I got into food writing, how long it takes me to compose a blog post (now you’ll know why I can’t post everyday!), why I won’t accept restaurant freebies, and even what I do to stay fit.

The article also talks about the plans that I have for my DCF readers as the upcoming brand ambassador of Fully Booked. (SO exciting, and November is the big-event-month to watch out for).

I’ve also written an article for this issue where I reveal: “My Five Favorite Home Bakers, My Five Favorite Food Purveyors.”

All in all, I hope you’ll get yourself a copy of this issue, it’s an incredible read. The Fully Booked Zine is available for FREE at all Fully Booked stores.

I got the last copy at Fully Booked BHS yesterday 🙂 Yehey! The interview was well written and as your genuine passion (perhaps it’s more of a childlike giddiness) for food AND writing jumps out of the pages. I swear I could hear you swoon and giggle as I read the feature!

So sad I already missed the Food Photography workshop and I will be missing out something in November 🙁

just want to let you know ms lori that your mindful writing is very much appreciated. just because one doesn’t have an editor doesn’t mean a blog should be haphazardly written. your carefully selected prose reads like poetry at times 🙂

now there’s more to look forward to november (being kicked off by halloween!)

Congratulations, Lori! Thanks for giving me an excuse to visit Fully Booked; I’ve been staying out of it because I always end up buying something, and I already have more books than I can finish in this lifetime! Anyway, Shangri La branch then. LOVE the tiramisu from the cafe there. Congratulations again!

Maro-
I hear you! You don’t want to know how many books I’ve got waiting for me in my library. But don’t stay away from Fully Booked. Now you’ve got reason to go back :p The mag plus you’ve got to pick up the new Esquire cookbook. It’s my new favorite.
